Certainly. You can have him. He's

OUR LITTLE RAaAMuFr1N.

He's covered with dirt and with CRIME,
His clothes, and his face, hands and fee
Betoken that lie is, in truth,
An out-and-out boy of the street.
He's ready for frolic and fun,
For sports that are manly and free;
For deeds that are noble and good,
No boy is more ready than he.
a seat in the parlor lie shuns;
And OH what wlgglesomc gnest
Is he, when compelled to aemain
Dressed up in his Smdaylled best
He'd much ratherbe out of doors.
And, had he his choice, he would fain
Go off with gypsyish band,
Or with Indians scour the plain.
lie minds not Il pretty hard scratch
Nor weeps at serious hurt,
And the blushing or blanching of cheek
Is hid meath coating of dirt.
His eyes like twin lakes, glisten out,
Though in mountains of mud insphered
And manly the heart that's behind
The coat with grease so well smeared,
iiNN bNhhtY - illpiN tllttll Shlll-htNp,
And dirt lying thick on the skin
Can harm not the beautiful soul
That lieth all purely within.
And, spite of his misclevous way,
That boy is our pride and our hope,
Who has not Il stain on his hand
That cannot be washed off with soap.
You meet aim when ont IN the street,
His coat and his manners are rough;
He's covered with dirt, but his heart
Is made of reliable stuff
To-day he is only Il boy,
Delghting in mischief and sport;
Tomorrow you'll find him man.
And one of the manifest sort;
SO, don't let's be hard on him now,
And drive him away to the bad
Because he just happens to be
Anatural, genuine lad;
But, rather in frolic and fun,
Allow him the length of the rope,
And patiently wait till he takes
More kindly TO water and soap.

TIOLATIONS OF Treaty LII.

A correspondent o. NJ NJ, Great Barring.
ton, AasS.) asks The TRIBUNE for proof Of
its charge that the Treaty of 1918 has been
violated by Canada He urges that the recent
report Of the Belmont Committee to The House
laid stress upon alleged vio,atons Of the COM
mercial pact or agreement Of 1880, and also
upon violations of international rights as es-
tablshcd by the comfy of nations but that
the Treaty Of 1918 was not even named by the
committee. He asks, therefore, for explicit
information respecting the treaty provisions
which have been violated by the Dominion
authorities The subject has recently been
discussed with marked ability by the Hon.
John Jay, to whose pamphlet on The fisheries
dispute we refer our correspondent for full
details. But the points at issue can bc
briefly stated:
Article /. of the Treaty of 1918, after dcfin
ing the privileges Of Canadian fishermen con-
tains these words: provided, however that
the American fishermen shall bc admitted TO
enter such bays or harbors for the purpose of
shelter, and of repairing damages therein, Of
purchasing wood and of obtaining water. and
for 10 other purpose Whatever Here is "a
distinct admission that American vessels can
seek shelter from storms in Canadian harbors
and repair damages and obtain water there.
In the case of the Rather this privilege was
denied last year in the harbor of Shclburnc.
n. s., and Secretary Bayard has used this strong
language in protesting against the outrage
Ihe hospitality which all civilized nations
prescribe has thus been violated and the slip
ulation Of a treaty grossly infraccd." Other
breaches of hospitality might be cited, incud
ing the cases of the Shiloh and Julia Ellen
when guns were fired across their bows from a
cruiser and armed men placed in charge Of

THE COST OF PEACE.

Prince Bismarck's foes in the Rcichstag have
been routed. The seven. years clause of the
Army bill. which was defeated in January bya
vote of 1S6 to 154. has passed its second read
ing this week by vote Of 223 TO 4S. The
Socialists and New German Liberals alone made
stand against it. and the Opposition groups
which have been credited with III seats could
not muster more than quarter Of their voting
strength The Centre. which has been the
best disciplined party in the Rcichstag, either
abstained from voting or openly favored the
seven.ycars' term. The Chancellors triumph
was complete The German army will be in
creased by this measure from $4,000 10
46SOOO men. As many as twenty -four new
batteries are added to the field artillery, which
is to be recruited TO the maximum strength Of
364 batteries. corresponding increase Of the
military budget will he requisite.
The military expenditures of Germany have
been lower for several years than those of her
chief rivals in Europe. Where Russia pays
1892 900, 900 annually for standing armies
and preparations for war, and France and
Great Britain Including India S17O,OOO,0OO
and $14S 100000 respectively for their mil
itary establishments, Germany expends S15S,-
100000. This is 50, 900 900 less than Italy
is credited with paying, if we may place rcli-
ance upon the figures given by Paris journal
which makes the aggregate cost Of European
standing armies $926,OOO,OOO a year. The
German staff will now have the privilege Of
running up the expense Of keeping the peace :;
and as matter of course the French staff will
increase its demands and heavier ornaments
will be the rule throughout Europe. There is
much to encourage the growth of political pes
simism in the present passion for standing
armies and enormous budgets for military
purposes. Peace is the greatest blessing known
among nations, but it is costly luxury at nearly
81 DOC, OOO. 900 year.

THE PRESIDENTS DILEMMA.

Mr. Randall's friends want an extra session
of Congress. New members. fresh from the
people, are expected to honor the Pennsylvania
obstiuctonist for thwarting nearly all the de-
signs of his party, and so saving it from itself.
Evidently Mr.. Randall does not know the world.
Human nature is so perverse that the man who
saves another's life against his will is apt to
become his dearest foe
Unless President Cleveland is prepared to
back down entirely from his frce-trade policy
and to recommend reduction of taxation with
ont impairment of protection, he may be sure
that an extra session would do him no good
His free-trade friends might be strong enough
as they were in the last Congress, to prevent
any change except the rce-trade measure they
demand. but the friends Of protection would
certainly be strong enough to defeat any attack
on the protective system The wrange would
only disturb business. but would not In the
least help the Treasury.
When the President vetoed the Dependent
Pensions bill he put away his last chance OF
getting considerable part Of the surplus back
into the hands of the people Whether the bill
was in other respects good or bad it had that
to recommend it part of the surplus would
have been expended in aid Of needy veterans
The River and Harbor bill was not necessary if,
as officials say, unexpendcd past appropriations
are sufficient to keep the most necessary works
in progress another year. The Deficiency bill
was much needed, but 1t appropriated no great
sum of money. and the Pan-Elcctric attorneys
can look to their Pan-E Electric statesman for
comfort and pay. The Fortfcations bill ought
to have been passed, but not because II would
have taken much money from the surplus i'm
mediatcly, and the measure upon which the
House insisted would have been Of little avail
in that respect Does the President really sup
pose that in this particular another session
would help him more than the one just ended
Get down to the bottom facts and it Is seen
that there Is difficulty because the country has
ntrustcd power to Mr.. Cleveland's party-tO
party which obtained power on false prctcnces,
claiming to favor free trade in some States and
protection in others. but having no honest con-
vction or consistent purpose as body. Be
cause it was not and is not honest it is unable
TO reduce the revenue. either as Free Trader
would or as Protectionist would. The people
chose to trust this defIauding combination in
stead of the Republican party. and they have
their reward in taxation far beyond the needs
of Government, and in Congress incompetent
to eXpcnd surplus wisely.

vessel which had rescued Canadian crew was
not suffered either to land the castaways or to

rage.
Many other instances OF gross and wanton
violation of the Treaty of 1918 might be cited.

the House to lay stress upon these cases the
fact is adequately explained by his lack OF
familiarity with the subject and his general in
